Harrogate's To-Do List

Things to do in Harrogate this week

May 19, 2025

Welcome back to the HGATE Newsletter!

The Office Ale House Bilton

If you're a fan of local ales and cozy pub vibes, the newly opened micropub in on Skipton Road is well worth a visit. Launched in February 2025 as the sister venue to The Office Ale House in Starbeck, this small but characterful spot is already making a name for itself.

With four handpumps serving up a rotating selection of real ales from local favourites like Daleside, Rooster’s, and Turning Point (often including a rich dark ale), there’s always something new to try. A well-stocked fridge also offers a range of Belgian and German bottled beers, alongside more from Daleside.

The interior is relaxed and welcoming, with a nod to its roots thanks to a fun office-themed mural on the wall. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint or settling in for a quiet evening, this new micropub is a great addition to Harrogate’s beer scene.
